Pentax ME Super - Other Flash Units

OTHER FLASH UNITS
The ME SUPER may also be used with a variety of other flash units,
including both the direct-synch cordless type and those requiring
a cord hook-up. Small shoe-mount type units fit directly to the hot-
shoe on top of the camera; larger professional grip-type units may be
mounted, usually via an extension bracket, to the tripod socket at
the base of the camera. If the unit is a cordless shoe-mount type,
synchronization is direct via the camera hotshoe. If your unit
requires a cord connection, plug the cord into the "X" socket beside
the lens mount,
Shutter Speed Synch: Unlike the AF 2008, other flash units do not
feature automatic shutter-speed syncronization with the camera.
Synchronize them manually by turning the exposure mode dial to
“125X.” Also note that the viewfinder LED flash ready and shutter-
speed indication is not given when the manual ”125Х" shutter speed
setting is used.
F/number Setting, etc: As flash operating instructions vary depending
upon the type of flash unit you are using, refer to the instructions
accompanying your flash unit for flash mode setting, aperture
setting and other operating instructions.
